Project Manager - HR Implementation

Contract Project Manager - HR & Payroll Implementation

Up to £500/day | Outside IR35 | [6 months] | Hybrid, UK-based

We’ve partnered with a household-name global consumer brand on a major HR and payroll implementation, and they’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to drive it through to go-live.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys bringing structure to a busy programme. You’ll be working closely with HR, payroll, technology and the implementation partner, keeping plans moving and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

What you’ll be doing as a Project Manager:

• Owning the project plan from design through testing to go-live
• Spotting and flagging risks, issues and dependencies early
• Pulling together HR, payroll, technology and data teams to keep everyone aligned
• Running workshops and keeping stakeholders up to date
• Getting involved in testing, data migration, payroll parallel runs and cutover
• Managing the HR and payroll vendors day to day, building a strong working relationship while holding them to account

What they’re looking for in a Project Manager:

• A hands-on, organised all-rounder who’s comfortable in the detail
• Proven HR and payroll implementation experience (e.g. Workday, Oracle HCM, SAP SuccessFactors, Dayforce, ADP)
• Experience with complex payrolls, ideally large, hourly-paid workforces
• Strong vendor management
• Someone who builds a “one team” relationship but is willing to push back and have difficult conversations
• Comfortable working with HR, payroll and technical teams

If you’re a hands-on Project Manager with HR and payroll implementation experience and you enjoy keeping complex projects on track, get in touch with Katie Aldworth or Hannah Coton and apply with your CV now!
